+ indicates positive; and −, negative.

*

Calculated from the age at the time of donation, as a percentage either of the final incubation period (for sheep that survived until the development of clinical signs) or of the average incubation period (1296 days) for sheep that died or were culled before developing clinical signs.

No evidence of infection was found on postmortem examination of tissues from this clinical suspect; therefore, it is most likely it was clinically misdiagnosed.
